Bill Summary
This bill requires the South Jersey Transportation Authority to suspend the collection of any toll east of the Garden State Parkway on the Atlantic City Expressway when U.S. Route 40 is closed east of the Garden State Parkway. U.S. Route 40 is a main thoroughfare for many residents of this State. U.S. Route 40 is also prone to flooding. If, for any reason, the route is closed, there is no efficient means of travel for many motorists to and from Atlantic City to Pleasantville without having to pay a toll.
AI Summary
This bill requires the South Jersey Transportation Authority (SJTA), the agency that manages the Atlantic City Expressway, to automatically stop collecting tolls on a specific section of the expressway, east of the Garden State Parkway, whenever U.S. Route 40 is closed anywhere east of the Garden State Parkway. This measure is intended to provide relief to motorists who rely on U.S. Route 40, a significant road that is also prone to flooding, as its closure can leave them with no convenient alternative to reach places like Atlantic City or Pleasantville without incurring tolls. The bill takes effect immediately upon its passage.
